Thanks a lot for your reply.

What you describe is what I expected. However, in my case the imported 
records end up in the 'reservoir' and are not visible in the OPAC. I can 
only find them in the 'Cataloging' section.

So it's not a question of the 'reservoir' being needed or not, it's 
there whether I want it or not, and I can't figure out how to get the 
imported records from the 'reservoir' (which is a kind of staging area, 
it seems) to the OPAC.
